About

With their 40th anniversary at hand in 2013, legendary country band Alabama embarked on their first tour in more than a decade and released an officially endorsed tribute album titled "Alabama and Friends." The album features current country stars covering some of Alabama's country-rock classics -- including Kenny Chesney on "Lady Down on Love," Jason Aldean on "Tennessee River," Luke Bryan on "Love in the First Degree," and the Eli Young Band on "The Closer You Get" -- along with two new Alabama songs. It was a fitting tribute for the most successful band in country music history,  which logged 34 singles that topped Billboard's country singles chart between 1980 and 2011 and has sold more than 75 million albums. The band's core remains the same as when it was founded in 1969, when they were known as Wildcountry: Randy Owen (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), his cousin Teddy Gentry (bass), and another cousin, Jeff Cook (lead guitar, keyboards, fiddle). By 1973, the trio had decided to pursue music full time and they signed their first record deal -- and changed their name to The Alabama Band at the label's request -- in 1977.  By the '80s, the band had hit its stride, moving huge numbers of concert tickets and filling their trophy cases with multiple Grammy, CMA and ACM awards.

    Too crowded

    by Tshaw on 5/20/24Stir Concert Cove-Harrah's Council Bluffs Casino & Hotel - Council Bluffs

    Stir cove over sold the event. Weren’t allowed to bring in chairs even though the website said we could. No room to sit or stand we left early. I love Alabama but won’t go to stir cove again.

    Too short

    by 80s Man on 5/20/24Stir Concert Cove-Harrah's Council Bluffs Casino & Hotel - Council Bluffs

    Shortest concert I've ever been too at only ~1-1/2 hrs and ~17 songs. I expected either a full 40 songs or an opening act. Wasn't hardly worth the 4 hour drive. But I commend the guys for continuing to tour so I could see them live and cross them off my bucket list.

    Needs to retire

    by rikkialeigh on 5/20/24Stir Concert Cove-Harrah's Council Bluffs Casino & Hotel - Council Bluffs

    The Alabama show left a lot to be desired and the band should probably stop touring. Was a huge disappointment from the show just 2 years ago.

    A Lifetime of Respect

    by Jedfarm on 5/20/24Stir Concert Cove-Harrah's Council Bluffs Casino & Hotel - Council Bluffs

    So many wonderful songs, they certainly don’t sound like the young guys they used to be tho. Beautiful venue, beautiful night, cold drinks, and lots of fond memories from so many hits! Nostalgic that it reminded me as they sounded older, I wasn’t a young whippersnapper anymore either! Shout out of respect and love to them always!

    Best band of all time

    by Sooner boy on 5/19/24The Wharf Amphitheater - Orange Beach

    Alabama was great. Entertaining and sounded great as expected. Venue was great, but as usual food/ drinks were ridiculously priced.

    Alabama-Still great after all these years

    by VJORDAN on 5/18/24The Wharf Amphitheater - Orange Beach

    They were great. They seem to enjoy performing and that enthusiasm is passed to the audience. Loved the end when they called out Jamey Johnson to join in singing "My homes in Alabama "

    Alabama - Finally

    by TSol on 5/15/24The Wharf Amphitheater - Orange Beach

    Honestly, my favorite country band ever. I have other favorites but this one was my first. I've missed out on multiple opportunities to see this great band over the years (military, civilian, regular life). However, I was down in Mississippi for work and saw they were going to be in concert, I had the chance, the money and the time - I took advantage of all of it. You can tell they have been and were ful of energy and my biggest regret is not seeing them earlier (i'm sure it would've been wild). This experience was still nonetheless fantastic, I got to see them in a great venue on a great night with a great crowd. THANK YOU - ALABAMA!!!

    Sadly, A Let Down

    by AlabamaFan on 5/14/24The Wharf Amphitheater - Orange Beach

    I'm a lifelong fan of the band Alabama. I know all the songs, grew up listening to the music, visited the Fort Payne museum back in the day, etc. etc. Like all of us, Randy Owen is showing the signs of age. His voice has weakened. He just doesn't have the strength any more to project Alabama's hit songs in the way they were originally recorded. The show suffers accordingly. He attempts to rest his voice by including long stretches of audience sing-a-longs, but the overall show's energy is lacking. At the show at The Wharf, they didn't even sing "Roll On,"although this tour is the "Roll On"2 tour. If you love the band, by all means go see them and celebrate them once more. Just don't expect Randy and Teddy to be bouncing around the stage and belting the hits like they did in the 80s and 90s.

    Great concert overall, but…..

    by Frayedknot on 5/14/24The Wharf Amphitheater - Orange Beach

    Concert was great (my 9th Alabama concert!). Sound was horrible in the beginning. Mic feedback, low volume… Sound engineers got on it quickly and fixed the problems after the 1st 2 or 3 songs of the set. Never experienced this before at the Wharf. Seems like this should have been taken care of in soundcheck. And, yes, I have a little experience in this. Worked setup as a college student in 86-87 for a BonJovi concert and several others, as well. Issues were resolved and concert went on without a hitch. Thanks for the opportunity to provide feedback!

    Genuine country music. Worth every cent!

    by Miranda on 5/14/24The Wharf Amphitheater - Orange Beach

    The best band ever. Beats anything “called country” for today’s standard. Worth every cent and more. Good, clean fun.
